Theoretical Physics (TEOFY)

The research in the division of Theoretical Physics is focused on analyzing and explaining existing experimental observations, makeing a systematics of the generated knowledge, and using the knowledge for novel discoveries.

The collaboration pushing back the boundaries of physics

Theoretician Florian Trybel has an irreplaceable role in creating new materials. Together with his experimental research colleague in Scotland he aims to expand the possibilities of materials in extreme conditions.

Diplomas to New Docents at TekFak

Thirteen researchers at 91视频 have advanced in their academic careers by becoming associate professors (docents) at the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

Workshop on Ontologies for Materials-Databases Interoperability (OMDI 2021)

In the field of materials science, the development of data-driven methods calls for a higher degree of standardisation. Welcome to the international workshop from Linkoping University, Sweden, October 5-7, 2021.

Research for a sustainable future in ten new projects

Photosynthetic materials, two-dimensional noble metals and sustainable semiconductors are some of the projects at LiU that have been granted funding from the research programme Wallenberg initiative materials science for sustainability 鈥� WISE.

International collaboration lays the foundation for AI for materials

AI is accelerating the development of new materials. Large-scale use and exchange of data on materials is facilitated by a broad international standard. A major international collaboration now presents an extended version of the OPTIMADE standard.

LiU Theorists provide computational insight into the properties of novel ultra-incompressible, hard and superconducting W-N materials

There is an enormously growing demand for materials capable of withstanding extreme conditions, in particular advanced hard and highly electrically conducting materials.

Nanophysics and non-linear optics

The research in our unit deals with materials physics, quantum physics, non-linear optics and quantum chemistry.

Theoretical physicists at 91视频 play a crucial role in discovery of ultra hard material that can rival diamond

Research synergy from different fields, research institutes and countries has resulted in the discovery of near-unbreakable materials that show a wide range of further properties with possible applications in a broad range of fields.

Three LiU researchers share SEK 53 million from the ERC

Three researchers at LiU have received European Research Council Starting grants awarded to promising researchers. Their research areas are new cancer treatment, materials development and how people are affected by grief.

Materials science at the service of humankind

Artificial nerve cells, electronic plants, cheap solar cells and new types of diodes are all examples of materials science conducted at 91视频. Research and development of new  materials could be a major key to a sustainable future.

IFM big winner in WISE approved projects

In 2022 the research program approved its first ever PhD and Postdoc projects. Out of the 18 approved projects from LiU, nine came from IFM.

New AI model helps discover previously unknown materials

The 鈥渃hemical space鈥� can now be mapped on a greater scale thanks to a new AI model developed by a group of researchers at LiU and the University of Cambridge in England. The discovery has been published in the journal Science Advances.

Impossible materials are created under extreme pressure

Researchers at LiU, among other places, have created a new material that ought to be impossible. Its synthesis is, however, possible thanks to a new method that creates pressure approximately three times higher than in the Earth鈥檚 core.

Things are heating up for superconductors

Researchers at 91视频 have, by way of a number of theoretical calculations, shown that magnesium diboride becomes superconductive at a higher temperature when it is stretched.

Björn Alling sees new opportunities for strengthening NSC

Björn Alling is the new director of the National Supercomputer Centre at 91视频. One of his goals is to make more researchers aware of supercomputers as a resource. He also wants the NSC to grow, both nationally and internationally.

Conference on Defects in Solids for Quantum Technologies (DSQT2020) postponed until 2022

Conference on Defects in Solids for Quantum Technologies (DSQT) After consulting with the invited speakers, the conference has been postponed to June, 2022

Ab initio methods and energy materials
